The Fundamentals of Precision Forming
Sheet metal bending is a highly controlled manufacturing process where force is applied to a piece of sheet metal to alter its geometry without changing its volume. Using CNC-controlled press brakes, the metal is clamped between a specialized punch (the upper tool) and a die (the bottom tool). The pressure forces the flat metal to conform to the shape of the die, creating precise V-shapes, U-channels, or custom angles.
At BSG, we utilize advanced bending techniques to meet exact engineering specifications. Air bending provides versatility with three-point contact for flexible angle creation. Bottoming presses the material fully into the V-die for higher precision and less springback. Coining applies intense force to permanently stamp the exact shape into the metal, neutralizing springback entirely.

| Galvanized Steel | 0.5 mm | 6.0 mm |
Maximum thicknesses are dependent on the overall bending length and part geometry. Contact BSG for parts exceeding standard parameters.
Advanced Bending Techniques & Methodologies
We utilize industry-leading forming techniques to achieve the perfect balance of speed, precision, and structural integrity for every component.
Air Bending
Our most versatile technique, utilizing three-point contact to achieve various angles without changing tooling. Offers high-speed production and flexibility for complex multi-bend parts.
Bottom Bending & Coining
For projects requiring extreme precision, we bottom the material into the die to eliminate springback. Delivers the tightest tolerances and highest repeatability for critical aerospace or medical components.
Large Format Folding
Leveraging our high-tonnage (up to 1,000 Tons) and long-bed (up to 8,000 mm) capabilities. Ideal for heavy industrial frames, large enclosures, and structural nodes that exceed standard machinery limits.
Step Bending
Multiple incremental bends performed in sequence to create large-radius curves or complex profiles without specialized tooling. Cost-effective for architectural and decorative sheet metal work.
Hemming
A two-stage process that folds the edge of the sheet metal back onto itself, creating a smooth, safe edge and adding rigidity. Commonly used for enclosure panels and automotive parts.
Multi-Bend Sequencing
Complex parts with multiple flanges and return bends are programmed in optimized CNC sequences. Our 8-axis backgauges ensure each bend is precisely positioned relative to the previous one.
